Hello list,
I have a hybrid flash and cf site that I need to authenticate users and forward 
them to a new sub domains or seperate domain based on user authentication.

I'm having real trouble committing to the way I should authenticate... and was 
hoping to explain a bit in theory what I am attempting and get feedback on it...

How the site will work...
Basically if a user [EMAIL PROTECTED] registers.. I'll tag him so I can pass 
him to xyz.maindomain.com or a new main domain hosted on the same server. If he 
visists xyz.maindomain or maindomain.com his user login info will pass him to 
xyz.maindomain.com

Flash will dynamically load XML either from a default or custom area (ie 
loading from xyz.maindomain.com or maindomain.com ) again based on user 
login... meaning loading xml from xyz.maindomain.com will load different data 
than loading the xml from maindomain.com

How I was planning Authentication....
Use application.cfc with a cflogin authentication using roles. I was going to 
use roles to potentially manage the urls, custom logos and other custom 
preferences depending on when the user logs in.

I am thinking the structure is a simple application.cfc, generic login form 
with a set of statements redirecting users based on login.

The thing that may or not make sense is that the same flash file is to be 
loaded from a single location to control versions and upgrades, however all 
support data, xml, preferences MAY be loaded from these custom urls.

It seems a bit confusing... hopefully someone takes the time to read and sends 
back some feedback or ideas. Even something like - why the heck would you do 
that.. try this :)

Thanks everyone!
